J. P. Morgan (NYSE:JPM) is launching a digital token known as the "JPM Coin", which will be used to settle payments between clients, according to a report from CNBC. The move comes as part of the bank's transition to blockchain technology from wire transfers. Umar Farooq, head of J. P. Morgan's blockchain projects, commented:

"So anything that currently exists in the world, as that moves onto the blockchain, this would be the payment leg for that transaction. The applications are frankly quite endless; anything where you have a distributed ledger which involves corporations or institutions can use this."

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has withdrawn a proposed ETF submitted by Reality Shares ETF Trust, according to an official letter. The ETF application was filed on February 11, 2019 and outlined in its Principal Investment Strategy "bitcoin futures contracts of various maturities listed for trading on U.S. exchanges that provide exposure to the price movements of bitcoin".

Chinese tech titan Baidu (NasdaqGS:BIDU) has launched the decentralized application (dApp) development system, Baidu Blockchain Engine, according to an announcement from Baidu Cloud. A loose translation of the announcement reads:

Cointelegraph reports that Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) has opened a regional office in China.

Zhang will reportedly be responsible "for supporting the advancement and adoption of EEA's standards by taking part in local hackathons, workshops, training sessions, and conferences."
